How to make code or whatever?

[HoloYolo]

Hi there, I just wanna make a simple as can be plugin for KSP. No parts whatsoever. Just to show how far you are from the KSC, Kerbin, or anywhere else. Problem is, how do you do it? Any help is appreciated.

Is it not easier just to whip out the 7th grade math book?

√ (Your distance to Kerbol)² + (Target object's distance to Kerbol)²

Just a little Pythagorean theorem.

Why do math when you got a plugin?

Or if you => Kerbal => Object don't make a right angle triangle (which is pretty much *always*):

√ (Your distance to Kerbol)² + (Target object's distance to Kerbol)² - 2(Your distance to Kerbol)(Target's distance to Kerbol)*cos()

Where is the angle.

Anyway, to answer OP's question - checkout the wiki's page on creating add-ons:

That being said, if you're going for as simple as possible, a code plugin probably isn't the answer - changing a part (either manually or via module manager) is vastly​ simpler.

There's no guarantee that the triangle formed is a right triangle, so Pythagoras' Theorem very likely doesn't apply.

This is miles higher than what I can understand. And I haven't been in school for like 6 years now...

Thanks for moving this. I had a brainfart.
